Overview

The Scan Localizer works best when you use the latest firmware with its easy-to-use browser interface that runs on any system or mobile device. The firmware is compatible with any model of the supported hardware and software listed in the Prepare section of this article.

To get the full functionality, do the firmware update process twice. The first time, update the firmware through SCENE and the Scan Localizer plugin. The second, update the firmware through the 2D Floor Planner app, so you can work with the 2D floor plans generated by the Scan Localizer.

WARNING: Downloading firmware from a source other than explicitly provided by FARO may void your warranty and cause damage to your Scan Localizer.
